It's called proportional modification, should be under the modify, transform tools menu. Make sure you have the options window open when you use it, often times the distance cutoff will need tuning. Also notice that this tools can be rotated and scaled as well :thumbsup:

For a better solution, download the Clay Dough magnet tool, from highend3d or the homepage.

Here is another script called xySoftPeak

http://www.highend3d.com/maya/plugins/?section=modeling#2086

Im installing it down and going to try it out... anyways here is a description of it:

Proportional modeling tool or 'soft selection' (alpha version, 4.0/4.5). Now with manips and vertex coloring! See script header for details and wait for a real release ;)



Well Im having some trouble trying to run it in Maya 4.5 but hopefully that will get fixed soon.
